Summary

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Christopher Rufo (writer, filmmaker) about his reporting on critical race theory and Donald Trump’s executive order banning it from government agencies. Christopher answers the question “what is critical race theory”, but also discusses its origins and toxic divisive effects.

Since the BLM protests erupted a few months ago, Christopher has received mounting evidence of these trainings from whistleblowers around the country. Christopher discusses the dangers of of these trainings and how to stop them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
